Many potential uses of qualitative physics, such as robot planning and intelligent computer-aided engineering, require integrating physics with actions taken by agents. This paper...
It is possible to model avatars that learn to simulate object manipulations and other complex actions. A number of applications may benefit from this technique including safety, e...
Symbolic AI systems typically have difficulty reasoning about motion in continuous environments, such as determining whether a cornering car will clear a close obstacle. Bimodal s...
Interactive multi-agent system improves reusability of agents by separating application design from agent design. However, it remains difficult for application designers (usually n...
Mechanical systems, of the kinds which are of interest for qualitative reasoning, are characterized by a set of real-valued parameters, each of which is a piecewise continuous fun...
